[Q] Unable to use 3G on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im unable to use 3G on my Samsung GT-P7500, and i don't know what is the problem. Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I also tried my SIM card on other smartphones and it worked, i could surf the internet wihtout a single problem.

First of all you have to tell us : Tab version is it P7500 or else? then ROM Version... and check the APN settings to match your provider.

Mine did that on the first day I got it. Problem was I stuck a micro sim with adapter in it and while removing it broke 2 pins in the sim tray. They are so small and weak I didn't even know they broke at first.
So I ordered an original replacement off eBay for $10, popped off the back cover and put the new one in. Tested with a regular sim and all was good again.
Maybe you have done the same thing. If it doesn't detect the sim then it's most likely the sim tray.

Does you table recognised SIM already, means asking for a PIN?
If yes, make sure you have right APN settings! With a network monitoring app you can check your signal, if you have proper 3G coverage.

[Q] Galaxy tab 10.1 3G does not recognise SIM card

Hi there, I have purchased my tab last friday, played around with it during the weekend (root, overclock, etc.) Everything was fine - internet connection via 3G and WiFi, battery life and so on. However after I swithed off my tab on sunday evening and left it on charger, monday morning I realised that galaxy tab 10.1 does not recognise any SIM cards. The device itself is unlocked here, in Lithuania.
Any ideas what might have caused this strange behaviour? Everything else is working fine.
Hi!
I have the same problem, started about a week ago. SIM-card just looses connection at random times. Mostly when i've just left it in the charger for an hour or two.
A reboot is needed then it's working as normal.
What do you think? Should i return it?
Did you try and setup the APN manually?

Obviously...
The thing is that device itself does not recognise SIM card. Once You try to configure APN manually, it sais "please insert SIM card" :-(
and reboot doesnot help...
I have this issue too! I thought i was the only one experiencing this.
I have this problem 1 time, but i tried to switch sim with the one in my phone and it worked. Afther i switched back again and still working.
I got the problem afther my tab have been switch off for 5 days.

Well, after I left device in one of authorised dealers, they acknowledged the problem and offered to replace this Tab. So it turns out, one can only hope, that it does not happen to him...
Hi guys
Turns out all my problems were caused by overclock kernel. Today my tab was replaced so first thing I did was root it again and make a back up. Then I installed OC zip file from SD card via CWM recovery. Guess what? Device did not recognise SIM card again... luckily I had a back up ROM. After I went back to the original ROM everything was OK.
So be careful before over locking your tabs.

my 10.1 tablet says please insert sim card after i have inserted the sim card is it possible..i bought it in hong kong and now am in africa...its kh5
my friends is kg7 and it works fine cud it b a software issue or hardware
same problem just happened to me.
is there any solution found?
sim is ok on my htc desire but tab 10.1 cant detect it.
it has stop suddenly while browsing some news sites.
reboot does not help
i tried with another SIM also, same problem - cant detect SIM card at all,
when trying to open Mobile Network it says - Please insert SIM Card or something simllar.
Also i found that in About Phone - Status, IMEI and IMEI SV are Unknown, Serial is OK, is this normal?
Look I know this is a dumb question, but have you rebooting the tab after inserting the Sim? A client of mine had the same issue and we struggled for days until we realized we hasn't tried that. Sure enough that was the issue.
I think the tab only tries to access the Sim card on bootup.
Sorry if you have already tried this.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago, now it wont read the sim at all. I ordered a new sim tray but it has not arrived yet, but if you search other threads, this may not fix our issue. Seems to be a problem with this phone.. I'll keep you posted if the replacement fixes my issue.
Dunno. Might be a fault in the mobo or the sim slot. I replaced the sim slot and it went away for the most part, but it comes back at least once per day.

[Q] No Data On Galaxy GT-I9152

There are APN threads about the other Mega phones but not this one.

APNs are carrier specific not phone specific so they are all appropriate for any data enabled phone.
I finally searched for AT&T 3g APN's on Google. It works now, but my phone shows Edge connection. It sucks!

Hey sholsten,
Coming into this conversation a bit late, but thought I'd drop a recommendation (you may have already checked this) - if this is like other dual sim phones, a lot of them have one SIM slot that supports the highest data capability of the phone (3G in this case) and the other SIM slot does only 2G. Could it be your SIM is in the 2G only one?
Would love to know if this resolves the issue, I'm looking at this phone for my Dad who is on AT&T in the US. Thanks
Only one sim can use wcdma/3g the other will be on 2g/gsm.
Any of the 2 sim can use the 3g network, be it your primary or secondary sim, using it for more than 3 months now and very happy with it.

hello friend,
could u please confirm for me if it does has any option for the 4g and lte network?
also i will be glad to tell me if it supports google play app?
regards and thanks in advance
It supports Google play but this is only a 3g version... The lte is not released yet but it will be made for the American market so I'm sure it's going to be more expensive.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Do you know when is going to be released the LTE version and if it will also be dual sim?
Any news anyone about the Lenovo Vibe Z K910 Dual SIM AND LTE version?
Is it already available? Where can it be bought? What's the price?
THANKS in advance!

That's what I've seen with other phones, as the current trend: 2 versions, 1st with dual-sim without LTE, 2nd with single SIM with LTE...
YOUTUBE??
"" HEY BRO !!! HOW ARE YOU DOING? and how are you liking your new phone?"
I just wanted to ask you can you provide me the link of the video from you tube??
I also bought VIBE Z from China the overall language is english but in some categories the LANGUAGE is unchangeable it is chinese as default areas like Switching off menu, contacts and some places in the gallery as well....
Please help me out bro need cant stand it anymore
Yes
Yes it supports English language, but the UI is littered with Chinese text, in sms app, contacts app, phone dialler app, and power down. It really does spoil the phone, it's a tad laggy too.
Battry life
Been thinking about this phone. What is the battery life like with moderate use?
Dual SIM Dual Active
I've been looking at getting this phone as well. Is it truly Dual Active with the 2 SIMs? My work SIM is AT&T with no mobile network while my personal SIM is T-Mobile with LTE (I know this phone connects to 3g not LTE) I want to be able to use my personal mobile network all the time while using the voice & msg of my work line. Why I want Dual Active not Dual Standby.
Thanks

I just got mine yesterday and have the same situation with work (at&t no data) & personal (t-mobile w/LTE). Yes it's a true DUAL ACTIVE sim phone!!!! :good: It was already rooted and mostly set to english when I got it. Had to reroot it some apps would say it was rooted others say it wasn't... no biggie. I now have is that in the Dual Card Settings in system settings I set my personal sim (in slot 1 with 3G/H+) for data connection & work sim (in slot 2 with the slower connecton) for voice call & message. The calls all are made on the work sim & I get mobile network on my personal sim. I don't like the stock message app and am used to installing GO sms pro then removing stock app. However it seems the stock msg app is imbedded in the phone app (not a big deal) but I haven't been able to get GO sms pro into dual sim mode that at some point it had but even when I install the older ver that's supposed to have it I don't see the option. And without that enabled it defaults to send msg via sim in slot 1 even when in the system setting I have it set to sim 2. Also I'm getting double incomming msgs. However I still like the phone so far even with the msging issues. I also got a Nillkin case & anti-glare screen protector.
Hope this helps and if anyone knows any settings I'm missing or a better msg app that supports dual sim that wouls be great.
Lenovo has released LTE Version for Thailand Market but it only have single sim card tray.
The Model will be K910L L for LTE.
Hope this Help.
K910 supporting ANT+!
Hello, I've just received my Vibe z K910 WCDMA dualsim. Czech reseller claims it's LTE enabled, which I cannotsettings. m except that in service menu there's such option, but none in normal wireless settings. The LTE coverage in Prague is poor, so I'll see later.
But what I can definitely confirm is working is the ANT+ native support, working both in ANT demo and Endomondo(after installing even the ANT USB service, which is apparently useless in such case but Endomondo required it)
I've had mine for about a month and I'm really liking it. At first i hated it because of the UI and some weird quirks, but after getting them ironed out it's fine.
Shut off the stock texting app, browser and contacts/dialer and replaced them with 3rd party stuff. Also I had an issue with texts coming back to me under a second thread with just the number, no contact name. Very frustrating.
The trick is to put the contacts tel number in contacts in the proper format for Canada it would be +1xxxxxxxxxx
That fixed all the issues.
Great value phone.

What are the 3rd party texting app and contacts/dialer are you using that supports dual sims?
Thanks
I'm only using one sim. I'm using chomp for messaging, make sure to allow it in the securit app, and go contacts pro for contacts and dialer.

Where did you purchase the phone? I've been looking at the 7.2, but I can't get a straight answer if the US version supports dual SIM. The models I do see for sale that explicitly state dual sim are lacking US LTE bands. Perhaps you have one of those?

That's a good point I had not considered. I know I was trying to help the OP, but we were not successful.
I have model TA-1178 and it works fine on MetroPCS; however the SIM card tray only has one opening. The location for the second SIM is outlined but not removed 'cutout'.
I purchased mine Unlocked from Best Buy, and it is listed as Dual SIM. I just never paid much attention as it was a feature I did not need / want.
